LAKE CREEK LETTER,
On last Saturday night about 7
o’clock John Drummond, aged about
20 years, was carelessly handling a
pistol and shot and killed himself.
Whether he did it intentiously or ac
cidentally we do not know. His father
and mother were at Mobley’s Springs,
Rome, visiting their children at the
time. As soon as it occurred a runner
started to Rome for his parents, broth
ers and sisters, but when they arrived
he was dead, dying at half-past 1
o’clock. There were two of his smaller
brothers and a negro hoy with him.
There was only one cartridge in the
pistol, and it had been snapped on
several times, and it is thought by
some that he did not believe it would
lire and snapped the pistol in his face
to scare his younger brothers, lie was
apparently in good health. We sym
pathise with the bereaved, and hope
that all young men will take warning
to be very careful in handling such
weapons.
Messrs. J. W. Woods and J. M, Tol
bert were in our midst Sunday.
Mrs. B. H. Cook, who has been sick
three months or more, is lying at the
point of death. Her recovery is im
probable.
Messrs. Fred C. Hogg and Harris
Dollar left Sunday evening for Texas.
We would have been glad if they had
stayed with us, but bb they have gone
we wish them health and suooess.

While the first stone of Cologne ca
thedral was laid on Aug. 15. 12-18. nnd
the body of the edifice was not opened
until Aug. 15, 1848, 000 years later to
the very day, it was not, however, un
til Aug. 15. 1880. that the splendid
structure was finally reported complet
ed, having thus occupied in building
the record time of exactly G32 j'enrs.
The castle of ICingsgoberg, which
stands at the southern extremity of
Jutland, took 204 years from tlie laying
of the foundation stone to tho rigging
of its master’s banner on its highest
flagstaff. Its foundation stone was the
skull of Its builder’s bitterest enemy.
Three months after its laying Count
Jhorslng, the builder of the castle, wns
killed. Ills son was then in swaddling
clothes. He did not continue his fa
ther’s work until aged 24.
On his twenty-fifth birthday lie was
thrown Into prison by the son of the
man whose skull lay in the earth of
Kingsgoberg’s foundation stone. Ln
this manner master after master of
Klngsgoberg was stopped putting an
other stone toward the completion of
the founder’s work till civilization In

Restormel castle. In Cornwall, took
90 years to build, of which period ex

Cornish “the palace of the Iron rock.”

MRS. GALLUP DOOMED
A LOOKING GLASS AND A BLACK CAT

She Saw In Them Her Snmmoni
From This Sinful World and Wan
Moved to Give Snmucl Some Tear
ful Advice About Ilia Future In
Thla Yule of Borrow.
[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.]
It was after supper, anil Mr. Callup
hail gone out to feed tho pig and see
that tho henhouse door wns closed for
the night. lie had performed these
duties mid wns on his way back to the
kitchen door when he henrd Mrs. Gal
lup utter a long drawn shriek. Ho gave
no start of alarm; neither did ho in
crease his pace. As a matter of fact,
ho stopped to roll a barrel farther
nwny from the path. When ho reach
ed the doorstep, lie put ilowu the swill
pall in its accustomed spot to a hair’s
breadth, entered the kitchen to wash
his hnntls anil bang up his lint, nnd it
was several minutes before he entered
the sitting room. Mrs. Gallup was ly
ing ou tbe lounge, lie did uot look di
rectly at her, but he knew she wns
there. He asked no questions, but he
was satisfied that she had one of her
“spells” on. He sat down, with n great
Jar, In his favorite chair, pulled elf his
hoots, with a grunt for each hoot, nnd,
selecting a book ou “Fowls nnd Their
Care” from the shelf, began to read.
He had read the book 50 times before,
“I’LL BB IN HRAVEN BKFORH 8UNBI8R.”
but bad become Interested in the state
ment that speckled hens were more li
able to tho pip than white or black
ones when Mrs. Gallup recovered con
sciousness — that is. she opened her
eyes, uttered a sigh and fetched a
groan and sat up. She fully expected
Mr. Gallup would ask her what had
happened or at least look ln her direc
tion, but just then he was busy with
the poultry book's statement that a
red rag tied to the tall of a would be
sitting hen will scare her out of the
Idea. When a long two minutes hud
pnssed, Mrs. Gallup concluded tlint
something ought to be said, and she be
gan;
“Samuel, 1 want to talk to you a few
mlnits before I perish. You know 1
hev bln expectin to be summoned any
day for the last ten years, or since that
cow kicked me over tbe heart While
you were obt feedln the hog the sum
mons came. 1 caught sight of the back
of-my head In tbe lookln glass Jest as
a strange black cat run ncross tbe
kitchen floor. Tlint wns the wny Mary
Ann Davis and Manner Sly received
their summons, and there ain’t no
doubt that I'll be In heaven before sun
rise.”
Mr. Gallup scratched tbe back of Ills
neck with one band anil held tbe book
with tbe other ns be rend that sonic
geese had. been known to live to tbe
age of 15 years, but be had no remarks
to offer.
”1 don’t want to annoy you while you
are rcadin,” continued Mrs. Gallup ns
she unpinned the tidy from tbe bend
of the lounge to use as a handkerchief;
“but, ns I never died before, I think
you kin bear with me n little. The
first thing to be done after 1 expire,
Samuel, is to hev me laid out. The
nay burs will cheerfully do that I want
to be dressed In that gray dress you
bought me six years ago. Be particu
lar about that, because it’s the only
one I ever had that fits me ncross tbe
shoulders. I don’t want to go to heav
en in a dress all hunched up. 1 want
to hev my bauds folded and n pink
hollyhock In my fingers. I shall try
to expire with a smile on my face, so
ns to look my very best, and If ray
mouth Is shot nobody will notice my
old teeth. Samuel, are you follerin
me?”. »
He wasn't. He was following tbe
author of tbe poultry book where be
stated that ducks were strangely Influ
enced by music and had been known to
go to sleep when n fiddle was being
played. Mrs. Gallup to^ed with her
tears’for an interval and then said:
“That’s nil nbout me, Samuel. You
needn’t git up no big funeral or go to
any . big expense. Tbe rest Is about
you. Even If you don’t marry ag’In
within four weeks you’ll want soft
soap fur tbe winter. The soap grease
is down cellar in a keg, and it's as good f
soap grease as anybody ever bad.
When you are bilin your soap, don’t
furglt to lay a sassafras stick across
the kittle. I think you’ll bev to buy a
new tablecloth some time before spring.
I’ve made tbe last one do fur two
years, but It’s beginnln to go. It’s got
three holes right In tbe middle'. How
ever, if you don’t marry you 'won’t
mind a holey tablecloth. You know
about tbe wash biler, don't you?”
Mr. Gallup refused to answer that
question by even lifting his eyebrows.
The statement that a gander bad been
known to commit suicide through dis
appointed love interested him to tbe
exclusion of all else.
“Tbe biler leaks In four different
places, Samuel, nnd has fur two years,
and I’m afraid you'll bev to git It mend
ed. I'd hev tried to hung on to It fur
another year if I hadn’t bin goin to
cne, nut now its my muy to ten you.
And I’m afraid your second wife will
want you to git her a uew washboard.
I’ve made ours do fur nine years, nnd
it only cost 13 cents nt first, but It’s
beginnln to crinkle, nnd nobody kin be
blamed fur It. Now, let’s see. Mrs.
Taylor owes me two cups of brown
sugar. If she cries much nt ray funer
al, you needn’t ask her fur them, but
If she only sheds n tear or two she
must pay ’em back. Then Mrs. Jack-
son has a flatiron of mine with a bro
ken handle. She’s bln snyln fur a year
or two that she'd bring It back, but she
hasn't done It. It ain’t good fur any
thing as a flatiron, but you want It to
crack butternuts with. Snyiuel, do you
.remember when the preacher nte sup
per nt Joe White’s? It was two years
ago this fall, I think, and Just about
•tho time I fell Into the cistern.”
Mr. Gallup did uot open Ids mouth
in reply. lie had reached a chapter
In tLe book wherein It stated that roost
ers crowed In tho early morning not
to welcome daylight, but to scare pole
cats away, and bo was oblivious of all
else.
“Well, what 1 wns goin to say,” con
tinued Mrs. Gallup ns she wiped her
eyes, “was that I believed she borrer-
ed a nutmeg of me on that occasion to
mako a custard anil lias never paid It
back. If she lends you auy chairs fur
tho funeral nnd seems to feel real bad
that I’m feone, you needn't mention
about the nutmeg, but If she don’t you
might Jog her nbout It 1 owe Sarah
Ann Johnson a pinch of hnkln soda,
and 1 owe Melissa Farewell some gin
ger, and I want you to pay it ns soon
as I’m buried. You’ll find mayweed,
smartweed, catnip nnd spearmint hang-
In up in the gnrret, nnd Iu the old sug
ar bowl on the top shelf ln the pantry
Is the Btlckin salve and the mutton tal
ler In case you git n sore heel. That’s
all, Samuel. I’m leavln everything so
you'll hev no trouble, nnd now and
then, even when you are playln check
ers with your secoud wife, I hope
you’ll think of me. I hope—I hope”—
At this point she broke down and
sobbed, but even had she laughed In
stead Mr. Gallup would not have re
marked It. lie wns reading a state
ment that in olden times hens used to
lay eggs ns big as pumpkins and that
one such egg htttlng a temperance lec
turer In the solar plexus would have
caused Instant death. The sobs finally
worked off, and Mrs. Gallup said:
“Never mind what I hope. I’ve got
my summons, put my bouse In order,
and now I’ll expire. Goodby, Samuel,
and goodby all.”
Sho turned and stretched out on the
lounge and wns heard from no more.
After Mr. Gallup had read of drakes
who died of homesickness, of geese
who formed personal attachments for
cows, of hens who learned to know a
farmer’s whistle from a lightning rod
man’s topical song, ho closed the book
and rose up with a “ho-hum” and look
ed around. Mrs. Gallup was sound
asleep, and he had to tunk her three
times on tho cliln to rouse her up and
let her know that It wns past bedtime.

Bravery was cheap In tho Transvaal.
I knew so many brave men, so many
who had done heroic things, that I took
courage ns a matter of course. As my
prizefighter expressed It, “Pluck was
always on tap.” There were, however,
two or throe young Irish Inds who car
ried courage to the verge of reckless
ness anil who in consequence were kill
ed all too untimely. I had one young
ster of nbout 10, rather small for his
years, fond of wearing top boots half
as big as himself and altogether one of
tho best troopers in South Africa anil
therefore in tho world. I have seen
him ride down hill nt a splitting pace,
while he turned linlf round in the sad
dle, holding n Joking conversation with
some comrades behind. lie could also
shoot like a demon. One day he Bald
his horse wns done up. He wanted an
other. I replied Jokingly. “Take one
from the English.” The next day he
went prowling near their camp. He
saw an officer and mi orderly come out
to look around. He shot the officer,
the orderly galloped off. nnd Bobby,
sneaking up. caught the officer’s horse,
mounted It nnd made off The English
fired at him with their rifles nnd then
with their'Maxim. but Bobby came
galloping back to our lunger, grinning
all over Ills face.
“You seemed to be In a hurry to get
away. Bobby.” I said.
“4 guess I was!” he replied, laughing.

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
aro not afraid-to be generous to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds, have given
away over ton million trial bottles of
this great medicine; and have the satis
faction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat,Chest and Lungs
aro surely cured by it. Call on E. Brad
ford, druggist, and get a free trial bot
tle. Regular size 50c. and $1. Every
bottle guaranteed, or price refunded.
Magistrate (severely)—“How could
yon be so mean as to swindle people
who put confidence in you?” Prisoner
—“Well, yer Honor, I’ll mako it worth
something to ye if you’ll tell me how
to work them as don’t.”
The merited reputation for curing
piles, sores and skin diseases acquired
by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, has
led to themakingof worthless counter
feits. Be sure to get only DeWitt’s-
Salve. E. Bradford.
